The Basics

Touchscreen

Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use available
apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone.

The following terms are used for describing the different available actions
using the touchscreen:

Touch or tap A single finger touch selects items. For example, tap an

icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to
answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.

NOTE Don't press too hard on the touchscreen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, firm tap.

Touch and hold Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and

not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a
Context menu for editing a contact, touch and hold a contact entry until
the menu pops up.

Drag Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your

finger

, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.

For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

30

The Basics

Swipe, slide, or flick Move your finger quickly across the surface of the

screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item
instead). For example, you can browse through the different Home
screens by swiping from left to right (and vise versa), slide the screen up
or down to scroll a list, or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by
flicking its graphic off the screen.

Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn

the screen off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to
zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the zoom in
Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap can
also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen on or off.

Pinch-to-zoom Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch motion (to

zoom out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map,
photos, the rear camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the
Groups list, the Messaging list, a music list, and ThinkFree Viewer
documents. Spread apart to make screen information larger (easier to see
and read), or pinch together to view more area and information. The pinch
gesture also changes the Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to
change to mini panel view, then spread apart to return to the normal
Home screen view. Spread apart on the normal Home screen to hide all of
your Home screen items, then pinch in to redisplay them.

Rotate the screen From many apps and menus, the orientation of the

screen adjusts to the phone’

s physical orientation. You can deactivate this

function in the Display settings menu.

Rotate the phone sideways for
landscape orientation.

Rotate the phone upright for portrait
orientation.

31

The Basics

Capturing the screen Press and hold the

Volume Down Key

and

the Power/Lock Key

at the same time to capture the current image

on the screen. The captured image is saved in the

Gallery

app in the

Screenshots folder.

NOTE You cannot capture an image from some videos and apps.

The Smart screen and Smart video features

The Smart screen and Smart video features keep the phone from activating
screen timeout when it detects your eyes looking at the screen. When you
turn these features on, you can set a shorter screen timeout setting to
conserve your battery power, but still allow you to view a screen for a
longer period of time without having to touch it to keep it activated.

To turn these features on, from the Home screen, tap the

Menu Key

>

System settings

>

Display

tab > checkmark the

Smart screen

checkbox

and/or the

Smart video

checkbox.

NOTE The following situations may prevent these features from functioning properly:

• When the phone is in the dark or against bright light.

• When the front camera lens can't detect the location of your eyes.

• When the front camera is used at the same time with other apps.

Connecting to Networks and Devices

Connecting to Mobile Networks

When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is configured
to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting
data.
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.
Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network
available for data. You can also configure your phone to access a different
set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming.

The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data network
you’re connected to and the network signal strength.

Connected to the 4G network (LTE).

Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).

Signal strength - the more bars that are lit, the stronger the
wireless signal.

Connected to another wireless service provider’s network
(roaming).

When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using
your phone for data-intensive tasks until you’re connected to a faster
network again or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to.

To disable data when roaming

You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’
mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered by your carrier’s
networks. This is useful for controlling expenses if your cell plan doesn’t
include data roaming.

1. From the Home screen, tap the

Menu Key

>

System settings

>

Networks

tab >

Tethering & networks > Mobile networks

.

2. Tap

Connecting to Networks and Devices

Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access
at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your
surroundings.

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point.
Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others
are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure
your phone so it can connect to them.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.

The following Status Bar icon indicates your Wi-Fi status.

Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection
strength).

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network
address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP
protocol. To configure the phone with a static IP address and other
advanced settings, from the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch

and hold the

connected network. Tap Modify network in the Context menu that appears,
then checkmark the Show advanced options

checkbox.

Connecting to Networks and Devices



When you’re connected to a network, you can tap the network name

in the Wi-Fi settings screen for details about the speed, security,
address, and related settings.

To add a Wi-Fi network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it’s in range. You
can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it doesn’t broadcast its name
(SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when you’re out of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator
to obtain the password or other required security credentials.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap

Wi-Fi

in the Settings menu.

2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap the

Menu Key

, then tap

credentials.

5. Tap

Connect

to save the information.

The phone will connect to the wireless network (if it's currently within

range). Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you're connected
automatically anytime you come within range of this network.

To forget a Wi-Fi network

You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that
you added. For example, if you don’t want the phone to connect to it
automatically or if it’s a network that you no longer use.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on, then tap

Wi-Fi

in the Settings menu.

2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network
that you want to forget.
